From Burnout to Breakout

My name is Abigayle Claire and I'm the queen of burnout. It doesn't make for a great intro, does it? Burnout is a miserable place to be stuck, and as someone who's been through it multiple times now, I have a few tips for how to get from burnout to breakout (or possibly avoid burnout altogether).

Abigayle Claire and 3 other people liked Katja Labonté's review of Of Pages and Petals: " *Rose of Nowhere* 4.7 stars (5/10 hearts). I think Abigayle Claire is quite good at novellas. She does such a great job investing you and building character arcs and slipping in backstory. Also, she writes excellent 1940s fiction. I really liked Ros" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Abigayle Claire (?)

“You don’t heal in a single moment. It’s day by day, a little at a time. The time it takes doesn’t mean God’s not healing you, or that you need to change tactics.”
― Abigayle Claire, Martin Legacy

“So what do you do on the days you can’t move on?”
Julie smiled, though it wobbled a little. “Trust God and try again tomorrow.”

“None of us here deserved God’s saving grace either, but we accepted it anyway because we needed it,” he continued. “Life isn’t about deserving things. It’s about doing the best we can with what we have.”
